The incident happened on Silver Star Road at Kingsland Avenue near Evans High School. Silver Star Road was closed for several hours while investigators looked into the crash, but has since reopened.

According to officials, it began at about 7:30 p.m. Monday when the suspect, reportedly a teenager, was seen idling in front of a Radiant Circle home. As the resident and her three grandchildren showed up for dinner, the home invader knocked on the door, said he was armed, demanded cash and took the keys to the car.

"As soon as she pulled in the garage he went and targeted her. In 10 minutes it was over she went in there and he was gone," said neighbor Daniel Butterworth.

As detectives continued to investigate the home invasion, a deputy spotted the car at a drive thru at about 3 a.m. and turned on the cruiser's lights.

Officials said that is when the culprit sped off, allegedly reaching speeds of up to 90 mph.

The home invasion suspect then lost control of the car and crashed into the pole, investigators said. He was trapped inside and was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center as a trauma alert once he was free.

A second teenager was also in the car, but authorities said it doesn't appear as if that person took part in the home invasion. They fled the car after the crash, but were found hiding under a van nearby and taken to Arnold Palmer Hospital.

"The man had ran over here and climbed underneath this van here," said neighbor Mike Chandley. "I can't believe how he got underneath here. He's all the way underneath the van. He actually had to pick-up the van to get underneath it."

At one point, nearly 40 customers were without power because of the crash, but Orlando Utilities Commission has since repaired the lines.
